What is Blepharoplasty?

From his London Harley Street practice, Mr Ahid Abood offers the type of eye bag removal surgery known as blepharoplasty.

As we age, excess skin and fat can become more prominent contributing to the appearance of prominent eye bags. This is usually only a cosmetic issue but in some cases can interfere with the ability to see properly.

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and addresses the underlying fat around the eyes. Mr Abood can rejuvenate your appearance with this treatment, giving you a younger, fresher look with permanent results.

Mr Abood works with a small, expert team of support staff and specialist nurses to create a private and relaxed environment for you to feel safe in. At AA Plastic Surgery London, you will be supported along every step of your decision to undergo blepharoplasty.

  I would definitely recommend Mr Abood, who was very kind and caring and Weymouth Street hospital.  From the first call to Justine who was so helpful and understanding and all staff from start to finish. I am very pleased with the result, thank you.

  Mr Abood was the surgeon who agreed to take me on, after months of rejections due to being deemed as too high risk.
However, Mr Abood made me feel reassured and confident going forward with the surgical procedure. I had several consultations that were never an inconvenience.
I had the most pleasant experience from start to finish and I’m over the moon with the end result. I will most certainly be using Mr Abood again

  I’d like to thank Mr Abood and his team for a brilliant experience. I had a breast augmentation in May and it has been a very smooth process from start to finish. All questions were answered thoroughly and professionally. I am looking forward to seeing my finished results once fully healed!

  Definitely 5 stars
It took me a long time to decide on bleharoplasty. But when I read all the positive reviews about Dr Ahid Abood I made an appointment for consultation. From the first appointment I liked the professionalism and attentiveness of Dr Ahid Abood, the surgery was easy and most importantly it was painless. I like the results which have met all my expectations, my eyes look younger, wider and I feel more confident than I did before the surgery. Thankyou Dr Abood and a great big thankyou to all the staff at the clinic......I'm totally satisfied 💯

  Four weeks ago I had upper eyelid and brow lift surgery and I am absolutely delighted with the results already. Mr Abood and his team looked after me really well. So much so, I am planning to return and have my lower lids done, once my upper lids have completely healed. I attach a before and after photo of my eyes to show what a difference the surgery has made to my lids and why I am so pleased with the results.

  My upper blepharoplasty procedure was a relaxing experience throughout and it went very smoothly, thanks to Mr Abood.  I am extremely pleased with the results so far, after only 8 days.   Everyone at the clinic made this a very pleasant experience.  Thank you.

  I can honestly say that Mr Abood is extremely personable. He made me feel at ease from my 1st meeting with him. He explained what to expect from my surgery very well.  I never felt rushed during appointments,  I really felt reasured when I asked questions and he knew I was worried about going to London for my breast argumentation and lower blasphemy . He took time to video call me before my operations to offer reassurance .
I can not thank him more for his kindness and professionalism.
All in all I am extremely happy with the results and would definitely recommend him . I have discussed another surgery with him for later in the year . I would not choose a different surgeon,  Mr Abood and his staff are fantastic.

  I had Breast Augmentation and Uplift with Dr Abood 31st July 2024 at Weymouth Street Hospital in London. This has been the easiest and most stress free procedure I've ever had. Dr Abood and Justine are so kind and lovely, I felt totally at ease and welcome from my first appointment. The aftercare is incredible, nothing is too much and I'm absolutely thrilled with my results so far. I cannot recommend Dr Abood enough. So thankful for everything!

Your Patient Journey

Booking and Consultation

Book a consultation in Harley Street, London

To determine how blepharoplasty could help you, you will need to book a private consultation with Mr Abood at his London practice. Mr Abood takes the time to understand his clients’ reasons for seeking surgery and asks in depth questions before offering his professional advice.

You are able to request further consultations down the line if you feel that you need more information. Mr Abood understands that the decision to undergo surgery is a significant one and encourages you to take as much time as you need.

Mr Abood will inquire about your medical history, as there are some medical conditions and allergies that could have an impact on your surgery and recovery. He will need to examine your face and eyes to determine the best way to achieve your desired results. He will also take photos of your eyes for your medical records which he will use to help show you what’s involved in the procedure.

At consultation, you can decide whether to have blepharoplasty surgery on the upper eyelid, the lower eyelid, or both. This will depend on the results you are hoping to achieve.

The Procedure

Book a consultation in Harley Street, London

Blepharoplasty at AA Plastic Surgery London can be performed under local anaesthetic, local anaesthetic with sedation or a general anaesthetic. In most cases of upper eyelid surgery, only a local anaesthetic is needed.

Lower eyelid surgery can be carried out through an incision just below the lash line or through the inside of the lower eyelid (what’s called the ‘no scar’ or transconjunctival approach). Mr Abood will advise you on the appropriate approach for you. The surgery usually involves a combination of fat reduction along with some skin excision. It may also be advisable to selectively inject fat into specific areas around the eye at the same time-what’s called fat transfer- to try and give the very best outcome. If skin is removed then an external scar will remain after this surgery. Mr Abood is an expert in scar reduction techniques and can advise you on how to minimise its appearance.

Upper eyelid surgery involves the removal of skin, various amounts of fat and occasionally a small strip of muscle. The tissues are tightened and the wound is closed with stitches. At the end of the procedure an ointment will be applied over the stitch line and you will be instructed about how to look after your eyes over the first week.

Aftercare and Results

Before you leave Mr Abood’s London practice, we will arrange some follow-up appointments to take place at different time intervals post-surgery.

Mr Abood will give you detailed aftercare instructions, but he and his staff will be available to contact if you have any questions.

Dry or gritty eyes are a common, temporary occurrence following blepharoplasty. This should subside within a few days. In the first 3 to 4 days the eyes need to be kept dry, after which washing your face and eyes will need to be done very carefully. In the first few weeks, swelling, bruising and tenderness is expected, as the area around the eyes is very sensitive.

To help with your recovery and manage discomfort, Mr Abood may advise you to:

Sleep with your head propped on pillows, remaining upright to allow fluid to drain and to reduce swelling
Wear sunglasses outside to protect your eyes from the wind and bright sunlight
Use an ice pack to reduce swelling and soreness

The full results of blepharoplasty can usually be seen after several weeks, once the face has healed properly.

About London

London has been a significant British settlement for over two millennia due to its key position on the River Thames. It was founded by the Romans as Londinium around 47-50 CE. It then was burned to the ground in 61 CE by Queen Boudica and the Iceni tribe; a foretelling precedent to the Great Fire of London in September 1666.

London was revived in the 9th century CE and became the largest town in England by the 11th century. William the Conqueror was crowned in Westminster Abbey in 1066 and founded the Tower of London as his primary place of governance. Parliament formed in 1215 and met in the Palace of Westminster.

Today, London is a global city and a major financial centre with strong influence on international markets. Its many attractions draw tourists from all over the globe: Kew Gardens, the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, Tower Bridge, the London Eye, Buckingham Palace, St Paul’s Cathedral, Big Ben and the London Underground (the oldest rapid transit system in the world).
